Endo, Candida and more health problems! My experience...From: Lori (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu Jan 31 15:09:15 2008
Please pass on to your friends and family who may be sick and no one can figure out what is wrong with them. If they eat a tiny bit of sugar(fruit included), do symptoms come on? This is a major health problem that is very common, but most MD drs. do not know about it. It can advance to systemic candida easily if not treated as it did with me. I wanted to let you know that I did a stool test to diagnose for sure, but also there is a “candida spit test” google it as this may be a very good indicator as my spit test has always been positive and no one else in the families is. If it is positive, seek out a good naturopathic dr. who can do a stool test. I think it started with me as a child as I had tonsillitis and strep throat every 1-2 months for it must have been about 10 years. Then it may have developed into endometriosis and all the other health problems that came. Maybe it was an immune system problem from the beginning or the antibiotics started it, then it became an immune system problem. Only God knows. There is also a mercury link, but I did not have my mercury fillings till much later.. I did a stool test after many years of seeing MD drs. who could find nothing wrong. My naturopathic dr. recognized it when I told her that I ate ice cream and felt a burning pain under my skin. Please note that at this point it was advanced. Many other people may not have the same symptoms as I do. The main ones I had/have was chronic fatigue, endometriosis, chronic ear infections as an adult…. Many problems developed after it became advanced and then went away in days after an antifungal, so I was able to recognize it. Suddenly I became allergic to my cat(gone now), had congestion in my chest for 6 months(MD drs. said it must have been from a cold) Endometriosis problems, ovary pain & PMS problems go away on an antifungal, but come back when the yeast is near again. Joints started cracking and popping during an outbreak. Nightmares, sneezing, eyes watering, nose running after a sip of a soda(candida grows with all sugars) Brain fog, itching under the skin like on the feet and in the arms-feels like in the blood or something,body aches, extreme agitation-yes poor Steve!.. Many more of the symptoms that are below. The worst part is how it effects the brain, but thanks to the Lord, I have survived it in one piece. Some may disagree! Ha Ha. Many who have it advanced that I speak to with endometriosis, seem to not be able to get rid of it. It has been this way for me for 3 years of battling it as it always come back. The standard treatment is-antifungals, probiotics and diet. Many I believe will be cured by this. I spoke to my new current dr. and told him the trouble that I have as it does not work and he said that it is an immune system problem. I believe this! This is the 1st time in 3 years of fighting it (prior years I did not know what was wrong with me) that I am on a different treatment now and it is a liquid probiotic that goes into the entire body. The others seemed to work mainly on the intestines as I just read on the link about nystatin-it clears it out of the intestines, but not much has been cleared out of the rest of my body. The probiotic I am on now, I feel in 5 minutes doing the trick. It goes to the upper body when swished in the mouth and when swallowed to the stomach and lower body. I can feel it everywhere. I am also on a very expensive liquid antioxidant and also colostrom and iodine(was extremelly low). This is only the 3rd day of treatment and I am feeling it leave my body! Praise the Lord. Please pray though that the yeast does not become resistant to this treatment! Here is what I take: SCD EM FOOD GRADE-probiotic XTRA(EM)-antioxidant And more.. Thank you for reading and please pass on this information!!!! Systemic Candida/Systemic infection. Under normal circumstances, trace amounts of Candida can be found in the gut and in various locations in the body. Among people with decreased immunity, however, occasionally Candida infections can occur throughout the body. Systemic, or deep, candida infections are serious medical conditions that require immediate medical treatment. There is no such thing as a low-grade systemic candida infection with mild symptoms. Invasive Candida infections are characterized by fever and shock, including low blood pressure, an elevated heart rate, respiratory distress, multiorgan distress, and sometimes a systemic rash or skin peeling. This is a dangerous, even potentially fatal, condition. Great link for more info and testing... http://overcomingcandida.com/index.htm Toxic waste from candida infestations can also be absorbed into the bloodstream, producing a range of symptoms as below; some of the most disturbing may be those affecting the brain. Yeast toxin hypersensitivity can lead to anxiety, depression and impaired intellectual functioning. This is often not recognized as a candidal problem, and psychiatric referral is the result, which may be unsuccessful, and increase feelings of guilt, poor self-esteem and depression. In addition to the toxins produced by the candida organism itself, it can also affect the brain by way of the toxic substances manufactured from sugar and refined carbohydrates in the diet. The main substance implicated here is acetaldehyde, which is a normal by-product of metabolism, produced in small amounts and rendered harmless by the liver. If, however, there is excess production of this by candida and/or a lack of the appropriate liver enzymes which tend to be deficient in 5 per cent of the general population, the acetaldehyde will become bound strongly to human tissue. This may cause impaired neuro-transmission in the brain, resulting in anxiety, depression, defective memory and cloudy thinking. Symptoms as listed in Dr. Crook's books, The Yeast Connection and The Yeast Connection and the Woman: Please note that these symptoms may seem vast and broad ranging. It is the presence of multiple symptoms and not a single symptom that may be an indicator of candidiasis. The following symptoms from Dr. Crook's book have gone beyond what research has commonly shown symptoms of candidiasis to be to provide a broader range of possibilities. Please note the references to medical studies and the list of most common symptoms of candidiasis following Dr. Crook's list if this information is not to be used for experimental purposes. Fatigue or lethargy Feeling of being drained Depression or manic depression Numbness, burning, or tingling Headaches Muscle Aches Muscle weakness or paralysis Pain and/or swelling in joints Abdominal Pain Constipation and/or diarrhea Bloating, belching or intestinal gas Women - Troublesome vaginal burning, itching or discharge Prostatitis Impotence Loss of sexual desire or feeling Endometriosis or infertility Cramps and/or other menstrual irregularities Premenstrual tension Attacks of anxiety or crying Cold hands or feet, low body temperature Hypothroidism Shaking or irritable when hungry Cystitis or interstitial cystitis Other Drowsiness Irritability Incoordination Frequent mood swings Insomnia Dizziness/loss of balance Pressure above ears...feeling of head swelling Sinus problems...tenderness of cheekbones or forehead Tendency to bruise easy Eczema, itching eyes Psoriasis Chronic hives (urticaria) Indigestion or heartburn Sensitivity to milk, wheat, corn or other common foods Mucous in stools Rectal itching Dry mouth or throat Mouth rashes including :white" tongue Bad breath Foot, hair, or body odor not relieved by washing Nasal congestion or post nasal drip Nasal itching Sore throat Laryngitis, loss of voice Cough or recurrent bronchitis Pain or tightness in chest Wheezing or shortness of breath Urinary frequency or urgency Burning on urination Spots in front of eyes or erratic vision Burning or tearing eyes Recurrent infections or fluid in ears Ear pain or deafness -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- More --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
